More on Climate Normals

Here's a plot by Blake Moore of the Alaska Climate Research Center showing the location of all sites in Alaska with 1981-2010 normals. There are 203 stations here, a whopping 60% increase in the net number of stations that had normals for the 1971-2000 period. Note though the large areas with almost no stations, including the comparatively heavily populated Yukon-Kuskokwim delta.
